James Dallas | Life Forms | Black Vinyl LP

Life Forms (1982) was James Dallas debut album. Recorded at Mauer Brothers \u2019 Studio and completely self-funded with the help and encouragement of his peers and family. Dallas paid for all the recording time and the privately pressed 1000 copies of the album...back then he could not have imagined that decades later it would become a much sought-after collectible that fetches high prices. On Life Forms James Dallas is joined by a top cast of musicians such as Earl Thompson on percussion, Myron McClain and Noland Clark on drums, Rick Lacey and Robert Walls Jr. On guitar, Jake Simmons and Kevin Whitehead on bass. Kevin Whitehead (who is James \u2019 cousin and known for his work with Ben Webster, Ella Fitzgerald, Miles Davis, Sun Ra and Pharoah Sanders) also wrote a track for the album. The whole venture truly is a family affair because James \u2019 brother Christopher can also be heard on keyboards and the album design was handled by his other brother Calvin. James Dallas surely dei
